Re: PostgreSQL x Oracle

Hello All,

I don't want to compare PostgreSQL and Oracle thinking about money.

What about speed?? Is Oracle faster than PostgreSQL?? Why?? I believe
that some day the PostgreSQL development team will improve the engine and
it will be as fast as Oracle.

Someone tell about database replication, but isn't PostgreSQL supporting
it??

I don't plan to use Oracle, I just want to have solid arguments to say
PostgreSQL is as good as Oracle. There are *a lot* of person that think
Oracle is better because it is not free. To tell the truth, I know lots of
people that preffer Windows instead Linux, Oracle instead PostgreSQL,
... , non-free instead free, without any kind of knowledge, just because
it isn't free and came with a full color manual on a brighting (also full
color) box.

See ya,
